Ah Kenny, my man. Kenny was a good friend of mine back in high school. Among the many great musician who were playing together at that time, he was always the most natural. He played as he breathed, effortlessly seemingly without a thought. The first time I heard this recording it was introduced on the radio by Elton John who was doing a guest DJ thing on one of the local rock stations. Elton said listen to this solo by the greatest piano player in the world. It was during the afternoon hours so he told all the housewives to dance their vacuum cleaners around the living room while Kenny wailed. This is an amazing solo by any standard and I thank Fabio Zacco for letting me SEE IT along with just hearing it. Kenny was a beautiful soul. Such a gentle, very funny person who never flaunted his prodigious talent. I had lost contact with him by the time I heard of his tragic early end, but I think of him often and miss his wonderful smile and mischievous dancing eyes. Thank you again Fabio for keeping a part of Kenny alive.

One of the greatest piano solos ever

It is a LEGENDARY SOLO, a highly inspired moment in the history of music. And one has to understand the complexity of this solo as a piece of music of its own. And this transcription and performance by Mr. Zacoo is fantastic. What a wonderful job!!!! What bugs me really A LOT is to see so many dislikes. It is true that the vast majority of the input is POSITIVE, but why so many dislikes? What's wrong with people? Why can't they simply acknowledge the incredible work done by both Kirkland and his admirer?? Is it a cultural crisis?? Is it because the world is filled with mediocre people?? In any case, the video itself signifies HOPE. The dislikes, on the other hand, signify we still have way too much stupidity and ignorance around.

Unbelievable! My favorite solo ever. You nailed it note for note 🙌🏼

Best Performance heard

One of most emblematic solos and incredible solos of humanity!

This should be study material for every jazz keyboardist. Stuff like 1:09 to 1:13, I could never figure out where the hell he pulled that out of. Like Sting said himself, this solo makes you feel life is worth living. Oh, and your rendition is fucking perfect, by the way
